Fuck Trump trying to pull the Turtle on us again, like they did with the Supreme Court. These federal judges are life time appointments, and we are going to need as many qualified ones as we can get to help weather the coming lawlessness from Trump and his oligarchs.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

America is over my man, jump ship, or sink with it.
Unfortunately, we don't all have the choice to jump ship. 🤷♀️
Giving the country over to fascists isn't the way. It's one thing if you need to flee for your safety, but handing the country to these assholes is what they want. And the way elections have been going no place is really a paradise right now, so we need to keep the pressure on these assholes, call them out on everything, and hope we get another election in 4 years.
Fuck that.
Fuck Biden for not packing the SC over the last 4 fucking years what the fuck. We lost RBG, and they get boof-master fratboy.
In their defense, they did try to get RBG to resign at the end of Obama's term, but she refused, thinking Hillary would win.
She was wrong. Dead wrong. Unfortunately.
Fuck the DNC for propping up a dynasty (Clintons) to follow another (Bushs) instead of bringing an actual leftist to fight the all right. Fuck Hillary Clinton for embodying it.
Circling the drain.
At the end of Obama's term wouldn't have made any difference because by then McConnell was committed to holding the seat open for the next Republican.
But people called for her to resign back during the middle of Obama's presidency, when the Democrats controlled the Senate, and her hubristic old ass decided to fuck everyone else by hanging onto power and prestige and trying to be even more historically important.
Woman had a bigger ego than Trump and Musk, and I really hope that historical opinion of her fucking remembers that.
consequences for trump
statehood for DC and PR
new supreme court justices
I’ve not seen this level of failure to deliver since the amazon guy threw my package over the wrong fence and into a neighbour’s pool two blocks away.
The Guardian can STFU on calling Susan Collins a moderate Republican.
There aren't any moderate republicans, and even if they are judging by some outdated standard, she's still not a moderate. She's a hypocritical, Trump enabling, manipulative ghoul.
Trump was doing this his entire term, and he'll probably be doing it pretty quickly again.
How is Biden suddenly rushing?
If you read it Biden's appointed 214 so far, if he gets all 244 then he's appointed more than Trump. Clearly this isn't a sudden rush, it's a final push to fix and protect as much as possible as he's been doing for 4 years
Good points. I do admit I skimmed and commented on emotion.
I appreciate you’re willing to self reflect
For a political thread, this makes me feel nice
Thank you. I'm beyond tired of the political arguments on Lemmy. I'm happy to admit when I know I'm wrong.
No shit eh.
Otherwise, expect people like dr Phil and kid Rock to be appointed judges instead. He already plans to put a kiddie fucker as DA
Don't forget, he's getting criminally prosecuted at a state level so he needs to take control of those courts too
This is the first good news I’ve read all day
